Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the reinforcement of a wall region of a three-dimensional attachment for high torque loads, wherein out of a flat strip is cut out a plate with a substantially evenly curved outer contour and the plate afterwards is formed and fine blanked into a pot-shaped body with projections and/or impressions and/or indentations and/or recesses and/or sinks and/or holes and/or pivots by means of a forming and fine blanking tool including die, counter-die, die plate, V-shaped projection and pressure plate, whereby at the body is formed a circular edge for a toothing.   The invention has the object to improve a method of the kind discussed above in a way, that provides hinge attachments with a much higher safety with regard to fracture of the wall region between the edge with an inner toothing and the pot--shaped body of the hinge attachment in a cost-effective way.  This object is solved in that the thickness (s) of the wall region (10) between the edge (8) and the pot-shaped body (3) of the attachment by a purposeful material shifting with at least a two-staged cold-extrusion process in respectively opposite flow directions (C, D) angular to the die movement (SM) is reinforced in a way, that the purposeful material shifting in the wall region (10) approximately equalizes the runoff of material caused by the forming.

Title: Pre-decode error handling via branch correction
Inventor: DIEFFENDERFER JAMES NORRIS
IPC: G06F9/318
Filed: 2005-11-18
Abstract: In a pipelined processor where instructions are pre-decoded prior to being stored in a cache, an incorrectly pre-decoded instruction is detected during execution in the pipeline. The corresponding instruction is invalidated in the cache, and the instruction is forced to evaluate as a branch instruction. In particular, the branch instruction is evaluated as "mispredicted not taken"  with a branch target address of the incorrectly pre-decoded instruction's address. This, with the invalidated cache line, causes the incorrectly pre-decoded instruction to be re-fetched from memory with a precise address. The re-fetched instruction is then correctly pre-decoded, written to the cache, and executed.

Title: Vectors, cell lines and their use in obtaining extended episomal maintenance replication of hybrid plasmids and expression of gene products
Inventor: MANDEL TIIU
IPC: C12N15/86
Filed: 2006-02-13
Abstract: This disclosure shows that the BPV-1 E2 protein-dependent minichromosome maintenance element (MME) comprised of E2 multimeric binding sites can provide the stable maintenance replication function to the mouse polyomavirus (PyV) core origin plasmids in the presence of BPV-1 E2 protein and PyV large T-antigen (LT). MME dependent plasmids are lost with the frequency of 6% per generation. Significantly long stable maintenance replication can also be provided without selection pressure. We also demonstrate that PyV core origin maintenance function/replication activation could be provided by Epstein-Barr virus Family of repeats and EBNA1 protein. The maintenance of the Polyomavirus core origin plasmid was characterized by 13% loss of the plasmid during one cell generation in the case of EBV FR harboring plasmids. Our data clearly indicate that maintenance functions from different viruses can provide segregation/partitioning function to different heterologous origins in variety of cells and can be used in expression of gene products.
